Here is a story to show how the different cultures influence and reflect upon people:
An American, a Japanese and a Chinese went for a hike one day. It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted. When they came upon a small lake, they took off all their clothes and jumped into the water, since it was fairly secluded. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their ‘freedom.’
As they were crossing an open area, suddenly a group of ladies from town appeared. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the American and the Japanese quickly used their hands to cover their privates. But the Chinese covered his face and the trio ran for cover.
After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the American and the Japanese asked the Chinese why he covered his face rather than his private part.
The Chinese replied, ‘I don’t know about you… but in my country, it’s the face that people recognize.’
PS. Now do you understand why people always say Chinese people want FACE?
2012 Olympics Logo!! Here is another pix, tkx to Denise for sharing both pix and her comment: it is too true to be funny really…but it is funny all the same!! And my reply: a logo to put a sad situation wittily where words fail!
Good one. Next time I’ll cover my face 🙂
Tkx Ting… what about those women from the Middle East cover from top to toe? Does it mean that they are afraid to lose both body & face??
